I have officiated this kid during the summer and during the season this year. He basically is a good kid and goes to a private school where you cannot be a criminal. I think this incident is unfortunate and should not have ever happened. It did so I hope he will learn from it. But none of us really know what took place or what was said. As I stated before, one of the officials I know was on the game and he did not hear anything that set Nate off in the end. I just think fans should behave better than that. And schools should take responsibility for fans that get out of hand. A kid should not have to feel "disrespected" playing a HS sport.

If the official did not hear anything that set Nate off, I don't know how we can expect that a school administrator could have heard it and prevented it.
As officials we shouldn't be "disrespected" either, but there are always stupid comments coming from the stands... that's just life. Deal with it.
